Do I need a vin# to use carfax?
Here's a really good summary that someone made with an 1998 Ex.
I'll keep looking for an Hx or Dx. |
Well, I guess that depends on what part of the country are you in too. Desert Southwest? If so, probably not such a concern then.
Here in Washington, paint will almost never peel unless it was damaged and poorly repainted.
Either way, carfax is a good idea anyways when buying a used car. Most dealerships will show you the report, or for a small fee, you can run the report yourself. Yes, you'll need the VIN. I've never had any problems getting the VIN from a private party seller when I ask for it.
